Hi Debbila, so far as I know "Graves" does not exist as a SINGULAR word.* Are you giving us a word in plural as a clue for a singular
word such as "memory"? Gloomy" Droopy? Will you kindly clarity, please.

* unless as the third-person singular of to grave i.e. he graves.

Drina, I took graves to be a noun. I guessed watery as an adjective.

M mia said: "Drina, I took graves to be a noun. I guessed watery as an adjective."

Mia, my question to Debbila remains unanswered. Graves cannot be a noun unless it is in the plural form.

 

[golondrina]

I'm repeating my question to Debbila:

Hi Debbila, so far as I know "Graves" does not exist as a SINGULAR word.* Are you giving us a word in plural as a clue for a singular
noun such as "memory"? or an adjective such as "gloomy"? Will you kindly clarify, please.

* unless as the third-person singular of to grave i.e. he graves.

Yes of course Graves is a plural clue to the answer, but telling you if the answer is a noun or an adjective would be too easy.

I WASN'T asking to know if THE REPLY is a noun or an adjective but if the clue "graves" is a noun or a verb. It seems to me that a correct reply corresponding to a noun in the plural form has to be also in the plural form, ending with s or x not y. Of course a cemetery has graves but "graves" is not a definition of "cemetery"Seriously, I'm interested in words so I very much look forward to learning how a word in the plural form can be a definition of a word ending with y

I have just found out that one of the meanings of "grave", not graves, is "filthy" Any luck?

Rosemary?

 

[golondrina]

Not Rosemary.
I'm going to be away from home for most of the day. I just add tat the reply is also the name of the berry produced by the shrub in question.
